Becouse of Pulev, he is unknown in US. Had no fight in US ever, and the only recognizable US boxer he met was Thompson in 2012.

What a bullshit. 3 out of 4 Wilder's last opponents were unknown in the U.S. and it didn't prevent those fights.

And all of them got 100k-200k usd. Peanuts. Plus they earned reputation and received nice fights following...
Pulev can earn 500k in Germany against safe opponents...and 1M+ fighting level B guys like Chisora. He's obliged to RTL, and RTL will not pay for fight they cannot translate in Germany prime time.
On the other hand, no German government will not pay Wilder 5M to come and fight in Germany....

I suspect situation will play out similarly to Drozd in the CW division.

Wilder will probably be stripped and made Champion in Recess. Povetkin will fight the highest ranked available oppenent for the title. When Wilder returns, he will get first crack at the new champion.

Dibella wants to (ab)use WADA and VADA to delay that fight even more for them with help of their lack of knowledge? Wow, how sad can Dibella be???

I'm happy to see Povetkin continually proves to be innocent, honoust and willing to fight, unlike Wilder.

They were willing to take short notice fights possibly for lowish money and we not expected by Wilder team to be a threat...

They act like the innocent team used a trick to delay the fight, bit in fact it was Wilder his team who actually used a trick to delay a fight. That's also why they begged so badly if wada could be involved.
